If we are talking about the 40 day workout, “light” is really light. It could be half your one rep max. That’s light! But, the next day, you might add a little, stay there a day or so, move up. Around the 20th workout, you will discover that you are machine like in your reps.
For the Overhead Press…from racks, this would be a great addition. From the floor, you would need to be sure to have a fairly good base. And I would say that two sets of two (a clean and press and a clean and press) would make a great 40 day workout plan.
I started my deadlifts with 255 pounds and shot up to 555 over a few weeks. I think I noted that I wasn’t too interested in getting a big deadlift, so then I switched to more Romanian Deadlifts and Thick Bar Deadlifts for my personal needs…
